SCT™ is based on the science of stress-magnetisation.
Whenever there is wall thickness loss in a pipeline wall, there will be an increase in stress. There will also be a change in the pipeline’s magnetic domains. SCT™ can identify abnormalities in the pipeline’s magnetic field and work backwards from this to infer an exact stress-value at that point in the pipeline.
Because any mechanical or metallurgical defect will lead to localized stress zones in the pipeline wall, SCT™ can detect any and all defects that affect buried pipelines.
